Baaaad jokes? Here's one:
An Aussie ventriloquist visiting New Zealand chances upon a Kiwi farmer, and gets to talking.
Aussie: "Do you know I have the ability to talk to animals?"
Kiwi: "True?"
Aussie: "Check this out: Hey, horsey! Does your master treat you well?"
Aussie (ventriloquising): "Neigh! Very well! He feeds me nice hay &amp; carrots &amp; puts me out to stud!"
Kiwi: "True, hey! What an amazing skill! Talk to some other animals for me"
Aussie: "Hey, you there, sheepey! - "

Several sheep of my acquaintance tell me that they're giving up dating humans altogether as they're only interested in their own pleasure.
Apparently, the numbers of humans who like to kiss and cuddle afterwards is tiny, and the numbers that are prepared to reciprocate with a reach-around is smaller still. Then after they've had their fun, the humans never call, the poor sheep hears nothing until the next time they turn up at the pasture, looking for another quick baaa-ty call.comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.60239-1652150Thu, 12 Apr 2007 19:57:00 -0800PeterMcDermottBy: rubinhttp://www.metafilter.com/60239/baa#1652160

Jim had just turned 65 and was planning out his retirement along with his wife, Mary. The two of them wanted nothing more than to retire to Scottish coast off the North Sea, and spend the rest of their lives living idly among the land of their ancestors. For twenty years, they'd been saving up all the money they could possibly spare and investing it wisely. As Jim's retirement approached, they sold their house, got rid of their car, and started packing up their belongings. They made sure their passports were up to date; they applied for their visas.
Finally, the big day arrived. They took a taxi from Scarsdale to JFK, hopped on a Virgin Airlines flight, and within seven hours were on the ground in Edinburg. Picking up their car at the airport, they loaded all their luggage into the trunk (their furniture and such had been shipped the day prior). It took them an hour to drive out to the village where they were had rented a thatched roof cottage, right next to an old links course. They spent the rest of the day unpacking and setting up their furniture, then the night relaxing on the chilly beach.
The next day, they drove around together, getting to know the area. Jim and Mary suddenly saw an old pub, called "The Lions Black Shanter." The two decided that they would have some lunch there, parked the car and went inside.
Seeing that there were no free tables, the two of them sat down at the bar. The barkeep came up and asked them what they'd like to have to drink. Jim said, "I'll have a Guinness," and Mary asked for the same. Then Jim, deciding that it was time to get to know some of the locals, introduced himself and asked if there was anything to do in the town.
The barkeep, who previously had been rather quiet and polite, suddenly raised his voice. "You ask me what there is to do in this town, eh? I'll tell you what there is to do in that town. You see this bar? This bar right here?" He slams his fist down in front of him. "I built this bar, with me own two hands! I cut down the trees, cut out the boards, polished the wood. I hammered the whole thing together meself! But do they call me Shamus the bar-builder? Nay. Nay they don't." And with that, the barkeep's voice trailed off and walked away to get Jim and Mary their drinks.
"What was that all about?" asked Mary, and Jim shrugged.
"I don't know," he said. "Maybe he's just having a bad day. I mean, he didn't even answer the question."
"You should ask him again. Maybe he just didn't understand your accent."
So when the barkeep came back, Jim tentative started talking again, just about the weather and other small things. Finally, he raised his nerve up to ask about the town. Again, though, Shamus went into a rage: "You ask me what there is to do in this town, eh? I'll tell you what there is to do in that town. You see that schoolhouse? That schoolhouse right there?" He slams his fist down in front of him, then points out the window. "Look! Look! I built that schoolhouse, with me own two hands! I cut down the trees, I made the bricks, I fished the chalk out of the sea! I taught there meself for six years! But do they call me Shamus the schoolhouse-builder? Or Shamus the school-teacher? Nay. Nay, I'm afraid they don't."
Jim and Mary looked horrified. What could be so wrong about asking Shamus this very, very simple question? Was there something horrible about the town they had missed in their research? What could possibly be wrong?
So when the barkeep came back a third time, realizing that he hadn't taken their food orders, Jim went right out at him: "Listen, Shamus, you seem like a very nice guy and all, but like I said, we're new here. We're just looking for something to do night, before we settle into the cottage we're renting. Can't you just help us out a little?"
And Shamus, indignant, started quietly this time. "You ask me, three times, what there is to do in this town. Well, I'll tell you. You see that dance club over there? Right over there! Look out that window! I built that dance club, with my own two hands. Cut down the trees for the wood, went to the mountains with a pickax to get the copper for the wires! I installed the lights, the speakers. I built it! I built that dance club! Look at me hands, scarred from electric shocks and hammers that missed me nails! Look! But do they call me Shamus the dance club builder? Nay. Nay, nay, nay. I'm afraid they don't."
So Mary, horrified, and at the end of her pint, asked Shamus what they did call him. And Shamus, tired of keeping lies and knowing the newcomers would find eventually, decided to tell them.
"They call me," he said, "the aristocrats."comment:www.metafilter.com,2007:site.60239-1652196Thu, 12 Apr 2007 21:25:52 -0800thecaddyBy: JujuBhttp://www.metafilter.com/60239/baa#1652211

I remember when I managed to get some kind of horrible pop up virus that made ______finder sites pop up night and day. Man, they have everything. Asian friend finder. Jewish. Christian. Black. Adult.
Everything. There's something wonderfully ironic about the same company pandering to Christians looking to get married as 50 year olds looking to fuck. Although, I guess, those groups aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
